I can't seem to get the wallpaper to change on the lock screen on cm6. If i use a live wallpaper its no problem but any downloads from my SD i use i end up getting a stock wallpaper like the grass or the colorful light spec, one only on the lock screen not the launcher. Its pretty weird and i can't figure out how to change it. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williec30:
i am experiencing the same problem...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastdroid:
same here on the CM6R1 lock screen it has a green grass background. not the live wallpaper swaying grass, but a photo of grass. i dont see a place to change it.:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
If you're using a launcher like adw, that has happened to me before. To fix it, I cleared the defaults, and loaded into the default launcher, changed the wallpaper, changed it back, and it was fixed.

Then again, this is on cm6, and I'm not using cm so I wouldn't know. Just a tidbit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngineerMind:
Hey,

The T9193 version of the HD2 has the radio bands 850/2100 in it for HSDPA 3G speeds, but just the 850 band is needed to support AT&T's 3G service in the US.

Would it be possible to create a new radio ROM that disables/turns-off the 2100 band for U.S. users, since this band is useless anyway, and it may help extend the battery life of our HD2 by not having to power the 2100 section of the radio, especially if it makes any transmit attempts by the phone on the 2100 band (transmitting uses a lot more power then receiving).

Any chance of this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
T-mobile is also using HSPDA/3G @ 850 also and nowhere else? I hope so because pretty much half or better of the users of these forums are T-Mobile and *not* AT&T subscribers. Jus sayin.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NRGZ28:
ROM cooks do not have such fine grain control over radio bands.... Sorry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2udCrRAZdK:
I don't believe the T9193's radio has the 2100 Mhz band, otherwize I'd be able to use it in my area to get 3G coverage. (We only have Edge on the 850 Mhz band here)

Hopefully someone who knows for sure can answer this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dneto:
Hi mate,

you already tried this?

In Dialer > Menu (right soft-buttom) > Baseband > Band Frequency

or

Start > Settings > Personal Settings > Phone

But 850 Mhz is just for GSM not WCDMA... it's right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngineerMind:
I'm pretty sure the T9193 has the 2100 band, but 2100 is useless in the US because AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G. The T9193 is an Australian phone made for Telstar (their cell phone company). The 3G bands used over there are 850/2100. So, because AT&T also uses the 850 band, thats why we are able to use this phone with AT&T's 3G here over in the US.

However, the 2100 band of the phone is useless in the US because is was intended to be used for 3G in australia.

The good news is that AT&T is phasing out the 1900 band for 3G and switching everything over to 850, so the HD2 will just get more and more 3G coverage as time goes on and then even the 1900 band won't be used anymore so it would be irrelevant if the HD2 has a 1900 band or a 2100 band because both would be useless.

Gotcha - thanks for the info.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianl8888:
Well, you neglected to say where "here" is

The best available combination for world-wide 3G access is 850/2100 Mhz. This is because:

1) 850Mhz is used in Canada, US, S Americas, Aus, S Africa for 3G broadcasting in regional areas (and in some city areas)

2) 2100Mhz is used in Asia, EU, Aus cities for 3G broadcasting

This is due to the actual physics of velocity = frequency x wavelength

Some telcos use 1900Mhz in the cities, but also broadcast in 850Mhz

Other telcos use 900Mhz in the regional areas, but also broadcast in 2100Mhz in the cities

ATT in the US uses 850mhz in the regionals and 1900Mhz in the cities. This ensures that "their" PDA's cannot use other SIM's - I have no idea why the dumbed-down US market meekly accepts that

The perfect combo is tri-frequency hardware, such as PDA manufacturers used to provide but do not any more (no excuses, it's just straight cost-cutting and sleight-of-hand marketing BS to suit the greedy telcos)

The HD2 released in Aus through Telstra is hardware-filtered for 2100/850 Mhz, the best available combo for world-wide use (not perfect, of course)

The HD2 released in EU/Asia is 2100/900 Mhz. This will access 3G in most cities world-wide (note that China uses 2100/850) but has limited coverage in regional areas - yes, I know there many 900 Mhz deployments but these are very limited geographically

The HD2 released in the US is 1900/850 Mhz. This is very limited for world-wide cities and excludes 3G coverage for those countries that use 2100/900 Mhz

None of this has any relation to GSM coverage, so please do not confuse them
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey555:
Is the hardware actually different?

I live in NZ and unfortunately bought a T-Mobile unit which is set up for 1700/2100mHz which means that when in the cities I get full broadband, but in the regions I only get dial up speeds through GSM.

My question is does anyone know if the hardware could actually use the 900mhz broadband - or is it a pipe dream on my part that hopefully someone will release a ROM to access some previously hidden hardware?

I do recall with my Touch that there was a GPS built into the hardware that no-one was aware of for a year or two!

hi,

i'm looking for an app to backup all my phone data including sms and mms.

what can you suggest?

should be free of charge.

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramosfet:
You can try SMS backup or My Backup. you can find them in the market.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
My backup is what I would reccomend.

There is a pro version, which is what I use,

but the free version will do it just fine.

It will backup your apps, and their data,

and it will backup all your phone's settings,

call logs, contacts, and messages/mms.

It places them in a zipped file in a folder on

your sd card, and you restore it with the same

program.

[Vibrant General] velocd:
Although the phone is fantastic this is more about their service. I purchased 2 lines yesterday at costco and due to a glitch in their system on the reps end that was helping me they were see me as a standard account, and from tmobiles end they were seeing me as a flex account. Well, Tmobile went ahead and created the account as flex pay, which is not something you want to be a part of if you are going to attempt to get a corporate discount. Also I had ported my lines over from sprint so I could not just port my numbers back over to sprint and receive a new phone discount again if Tmobile did not fix this. I would have been stuck on their flex pay for 6 months missing out on 20% discount on the bill.

I called the store to let them know what was going on and they said that was not what their end was showing them and for me to come down and they would resolve the issue. I was at the store 1 hour past closing time. The last I heard was from the tmobile rep on the phone stating that my account would be migrated from flex to post pay by 6am this morning. At that point I felt it was safe to return my evo's and finish canceling the sprint account. I called back this morning at 6:30 am to verify the issue had been resolved. Well to my surprise it hadn't and I spent the next 2.5 hours talking to people telling me it was impossible due to a past due account I had back in 2003, which I don't remember ever having tmobile. After arguing back and forth with supervisors, managers and CSR's about how this was not my account which they eventually figured out but still said I would have to cancel my account and reopen it losing my numbers I have had for 10 years I finally got one that brought the tmobile rep from the store on the line. I was put on hold while they talked and 45 minutes later my account is being fixed and my corp discount is being applied. Even though some of the reps were unwilling or unable to help me or tell me that its impossible for them to do anything I finally found one who took charge of the issue and got it resolved for me. Incredible service, even though it may have taken 4 hours to handle the issue, it was at least handled 100% to my satisfaction.
[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
I have to agree that T-Mobile Customer service is amazing. They have some of the best CS I have seen.

Just like any other company you have to work a little to get the more difficult issues handled but my experience has always been stellar with them overall!
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
yeah - like i did on that bing cashback rebate program

they are normally tops, but sometimes they can be frustrating (but at least you've got a human on the phone frustrating you, not the electronic menus at sprint)

but as a last resort, what worked for me on the bing thing, someone else had mentioned in another thread, i called into 611 and after indicating "english", just said "cancel", maybe two times - got to a "customer loyalty account specialist" that when he asked why i wanted to cancel i gave him a small glimpse of the "who's on first, what's on second" exchanges i'd been having over the bing thing

he actually took the time, went to bing, signed up for an acct, saw what i was talking about, AND found a supervisor to approve the damn rebate

just remember that "cancel" thing - it may prove useful
[Vibrant General] kelmerp:
I agree, T-Mobile has very good customer service. It's one of the main reasons I'm still their customer since I almost went over to AT&T when I was lusting for an Iphone. At the time I was thinking of switching the MT3G came out and I was somewhat happy with it, but now that I have the Vibrant, I am fully satisfied. T-Mobile let me upgrade from my MT3G to the Vibrant (fully subsidized [$249.99 -$50 rebate]) even though I had only had the MT3G for a year.
[Vibrant General] hpz937:
Due to bad customer service experiences i strictly do business with T-mobile corp locations or via 611. I recently went to t-mobile authorized dealer to get a new sim card for my g1 and after the rep screwed around for a while on the computer to activate it, i waited about 2 hour w/ no service and called T-Mobile's 800 number and the rep was very courteous and told me that the store never activated the sim. the phone rep took about 1/4 the time the authorized rep did to activate the card and it worked instantly. This was not my first bad encounter with non-tmo direct but will be my last i made the decision to never use a non-tmo store unless i absolutly have to.
[Vibrant General] SanFrancisco:
I have been with T-Mobile since 2004 and can say that T-Mobile has the better service of all the carriers, but it has degraded recently, in the past year.

In particular I experienced what you did, there's many T-Mobile CSRs who are incompetent and they are thus unable and unwilling to help solve your problems. It takes a few calls to get to the right person who knows what they are doing and who is willing to fix things.

Example, one time they overcharged me $120. I called and the CSR was rude and said I simply did not know how to read the bill. I had to ask for a supervisor who initially sided with the employee. After 15 minutes the supervisor too finally saw that I was in fact overcharged. She said I would get a credit.

Three months later, no credit. Called and the CSR said "Let me fix that, I have entered the credit."

Another three billing periods, no credit.

I call a third time, the person said this was all wrong. I heard a few key taps and the credit showed up on my online account instantly.

So six months and a lot of calls/labor to get a credit.

From my experience (and yours) you cannot assume anything. The key is to ALWAYS wait a month after making changes and then call to see that things were done (like I just called to make sure the insurance on my HD2 was transferred my new Vibrant).

Also keep records of everything (albeit unless you record phone calls, illegal in many states, it's still always going to be your word against T-Mobile's). That's why I like to do as much as I can online so I can get screen captures.

Bonus Tip: When push comes to shove and T-Mobile says "That cannot be done" or whatever, then tell them to cancel the account. They are then required to put your through to the retentions dept.

Retentions can do absolutely ANYTHING to save the account. They even give people free phones to prevent them from walking (assuming you are in the right, of course).

So if a CSR or supervisor gives you a hard time, tell them to cancel the account and then calmly explain the problem with retentions. (And say it's a matter of principle, that's why you are canceling the account.) Eventually they say "So if we can fix this problem will you stay with T-Mobile?" :)
[Vibrant General] ryfter:
I have been in CSR hell with Tmobile for the past few days. Their store screwed up my account, so I was not able to jump on the $99 Vibrant deal at Costco, AFTER I had returned my Vibrant, so I could take advantage of the Costco price. (this was also AFTER contacting Tmobile to see if they would match the Costco price). So, I am back to my G1, I lost all my time setting up my Vibrant... and the best I have gotten, is they will research my issue and call back within 72 business hours... so, up to 9 days waiting?

I am almost certain to go to the Vzn Fascinate with this whole fiasco going on. I like the price of Tmo... but I hate being jacked around. Every time I have had a problem in the past year... it has been a major FIGHT to get it fixed. I am tired ofi t.

Make sure you're choosing "Mount" on the Captivate after connecting the cable.

See here:

[Captivate General] lkakarotto:
This device NEEDS drivers, even for the Massive Storage device (At least it didn't work for me, Win7 x64 until I installed the drivers)

Try downloading KIES and try again, the x64 drivers you can fin around here didn't seem to work for me.
[Captivate General] mobius911:
What rom are you running?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You only need driver if you're on XP. No drivers needed for Vista or Win7.

But you do have to MOUNT the drives on your phone. There are reasons why a MOUNT is required. But if you're too lazy, you can download an app from market to auto-mount for you.
[Captivate General] sremick:
Incorrect. I have lost track of how many XP machines I've hooked my Captivate to in Mass storage mode and not needed to install any drivers.
[Captivate General] Modulus1:
Oh my god you guys rock... I never had to mount the device before. I wonder why that changed recently?

Anyway, mounting the device worked.

Thanks!!
[Captivate General] trekie86:
When I go to my SD settings, it is already mounted. I've unmounted, then mounted to no avail. I've downloaded and installed teh drivers from Samsung and everything says it is successful. If I try to run in USB debug mode I get the same result except 3 drivers install automatically than the 1 when I am in regular mode. Any ideas?
[Captivate General] kangi26:
Make sure you are connected directly to the back of the computer, not thru a hub, or the front of the computer case. I've heard the voltages needed have very tight tolerances. Try a different cable as well
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
It has ALWAYS been this way...
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You are doing the wrong thing. SD settings and mount/unmount in there is for the SD card mounting to your phone, not PC.

To connect Mass Storage mode to PC, you need set your USB mode to Mass Storage, and turn off USB debug mode. Once connected to PC, you need to go to notification window and tap on the USB notification to mount your SD cards to PC.
[Captivate General] trekie86:
I just found that before I checked your reply. Thanks for the help. I can actual access the storage on the phone now without some weird settings. Now if 2.2 would only come out for the Captivate. Thanks.
